Yane's manga / #Childhood Friends(46)

My rating: 8,5/10 This is so adorable, it had me feeling warm inside. I'm invested even though it's just a oneshot with extras bc the "youthful love" feels so natural and the feelings are well-delivered. HIGH SCHOOL, FRIENDS TO LOVERS Seungbin has a close female friend named Hajeong, it was all platonic until he gets sick in the season of summer and Hajeong visits him in the nurse's office.

My rating: 4/10 It doesn't get boring bc of all the different characters they encounter while searching for a marriage partner. But everything goes too smoothly, it's too obvious that they're the main characters in this world. All in all the characters are one-dimensional, it's an entertaining but simple read. MARRIAGE HUNTING, FRIENDS The daughter of a rich conglomerate family (FL) has to search for a marriage partner and turns it into a competition with her childhood friend (ML) who's in the same situation. But all their attempts go wrong somehow.

My rating: 6/10 Pick this if u want a light, quick read. It's not deep, there's no drama and the characters are short, just two fudanshis falling in love. Entertaining but forgettable. FRIENDS TO LOVERS, OTAKU Two childhood friends hide their otaku sides from each other. One day, they miraculously end up being next to each other at a doujinshi event where they sell their own mangas. From then on, they start growing even closer. But is friendship all there is between them?

My rating: 5/10 It's alright, the panels are a bit small and the ending is rushed but overall it's a cute story. The smut isn't that good but nevertheless it's entertaining. CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, SPORTS A taekwondo athlete (ML) and a judo athelete (FL), childhood friends who have been betting on a gold medal since childhood, go to the Olympics. When the FL wins, she wants to use her wish from the bet to make him sleep with her and get over him.

My rating: 7/10 It's interesting but I wish it wasn't so short. I want to know more about their backstory, the organisation of the mafia and all that. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading it. I like the protagonists, they're both strong and somewhat opposites at the same time. It's open-ended but with a positive perspective on their future. MAFIA, MILITARY, REUNION Ivan, a spy of the Russian army, must investigate the right arm of a mafia boss. But his target is a very close friend he made in the military academy who he hasn't seen in ten years, Edward. Ivan can't help but wonder what made him become like that.

My rating: 7/10 The smut is good and the art is beautiful. As always, this author doesn't disappoint. But I feel like the ML becoming strong is a bit exaggerated. It almost would fit a revenge super hero story. REUNION, HIGH SCHOOL One day a big and scary-looking guy transfers to the FL's high school. There are rumours about him being violent but she recognises him as her old friend who got bullied and moved away years ago.
